Waste of a 32 ford that is!!

Can’t believe I missed the warley event today I’m only 15 mins away!!

A friend may have a set I’ll have to ask tomorrow

you can buy 2inch blocks with angled tops which gives better axle location

Measure the block they maybe 1.5inch not 2inch but can’t tell by the pics

I still think you should pull the jets and write down what you have and just have a read of the guide sometimes it’s just good to understand the workings when you go to the rolling road you can give the guy the list of jets that are fitted which saves time which saves you money in the long run

I would strip the carbs and write down what jets you have to start with idle mains air correctors emulsion tubes choke size once you know what you have you can then start from there as it’s all a guess otherwise

Banded wheels Essex is very good

How many miles do you do a year in it?

Fair enough, I’ll ask someone as they might have a pair of 40 DCOE 32 why are you going with Weber’s? aesthetics? Just curious? You didn’t reply last time on the other thread?

Do you have a pic

I’ve got some dellorto’s

You say a few years ago why have you not asked before then?

Why do you ask? A weird thread to bring up for your first post

I’ve been doing track days for a few years and will get the Anglia round brands once it’s done I bought all the dry sump stuff for £175 so not a great deal of cost

Pulled the engine out and was hoping for nice bits to appear as in fast road cam etc but apart from lightened flywheel and Ap clutch that was it! No stamps on cam, no duplex timing chain ive been offered a 1600 xflow bottom end with some flat top pistons (yes I know it shouldn’t have flat tops), so will build that with my head etc Ill keep stripping the car boxing bits up then then can get on with welding

Nice, haven’t seen those for years

Making the boxes for the 4 link is your only obstacle as floor is different shape to the escort but you could use the kit and modify boxes as rest of kit will work I found cortina anti tramp brackets on a site but where about £400 just for those

Factory locations are pretty much same as the escort straight tramp bar setup

You haven’t got any location above the axle! That is the reason you could possibly move the a frame above the axle and see how it performs but think your exhaust will be in the way So you may be better off getting an anti tramp bar kit

My 7x13 aftermarket RS 4 spokes with Yokohama tyres 185/60/13 £380 ovno + postage approx £40 uk mainland

I don’t use hermitite any more a smither of grease on the paper gasket or a instant sealer

The anti roll bar will not affect that however the location of the upper mounts will you say you have A frame location this may not be enough so axle is twisting on springs Slipper spring setup may cure it or proper 4 link tbh maybe anti tramp bars located next to front spring mount
